MR CORNWELL - Asked the Minister for Housing and Community Services -

(2) What is the average waiting time before recipients are offered Trust accommodation.

(3) Were any single people or couples on rent relief at 30 June 1994; and if so,

how many of each.

MR LAMONT - The answer to the Members question is as follows -

(1) 1,296 household units.

(2) The average waiting time on the ordinary waiting list for all accommodation across all locations is 41 months.
